We have less than two days left in our Kickstarter campaign to raise the remaining $3500 to meet our funding goal. Kickstarter is an all-or-nothing, so if we don't meet the goal, we get nothing.
If you have a few minutes to spare, check out the project and pass it along to your friends.

Subject: Summit announces Unchained 10: Abbey Ale
Hi Al,
Summit Brewing Company is releasing its tenth Unchained Series beer – Abbey Ale. Abbey Ale is the second Unchained beer to come from Summit brewer Nate Siats, and will be available the week of July 23.
The full news release reads below. Let me know if you'd like to speak with Siats or if you would like a high-resolution image of the Abbey Ale bottle.
Thanks for your consideration!
Emily RindeOn behalf of Summit Brewing Company612-547-5030erinde(a)always-thinking.com
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Summit releases Unchained 10: Abbey AleSecond Unchained beer from brewer Nate Siats features Belgian Candi Sugar ST. PAUL, Minn. – (July 11, 2012) – Summit Brewing Company today announces the release of Belgian Style Abbey Ale, the tenth beer produced in its limited-time-only Unchained Series. Created by brewer Nate Siats, who also crafted the fifth Unchained beer, Imperial Pumpkin Porter, Abbey Ale will be available the week of July 23. “For my second Unchained beer, I really wanted to create something I was unfamiliar with, using complex flavors I had never tasted in a malt before. This beer is the perfect example of what Summit’s Unchained Series is all about – being inventive and trying new styles,” said Siats. “This is also the first Unchained beer we’ve tested on our pilot brewery system.” A Belgian style brown ale, Abbey Ale is made with Weyermann Abbey malts and exhibits a fruity, caramel flavor with hints of pear, prune and raisin. To create this beer, Siats brought in 5,280 pounds of Belgian Candi Sugar and tested two batches on the pilot system to come up with this sweet, malty recipe. Nate Siats will attend a series of special kick-off events for Abbey Ale, including: · Abbey Ale Firkin – Saturday, July 21: Tiffany’s in St. Paul, 4:30pm· Summit DJs and $2.50 pints – Monday, July 23: Grumpy’s NE, 6-9pm· Firkin Friday – Friday, July 27: Grumpy’s in Roseville, 4-5:30pm· Bocce with the Brewer and $3.50 pints – Friday, July 27: Village Pub in St. Anthony, 6-8pm· Cask Ale Night – Friday, July 27: 331 Club in Minneapolis, 9-11pm Digital images of the Unchained Series are available upon request. For more information about the brewery and Unchained kick-off events, please visit http://www.summitbrewing.com.
